The Try Guys have had a 'trying' week.

Last week, Try Guys member Ned Fulmer confirmed allegations of infidelity within his marriage.

Fulmer, 35, has been married to his wife Ariel for a decade, and the couple has largely built their internet presence around creating content pertaining to their marriage.

According to our report about the incident, Fulmer had been filmed kissing Try Guys producer Alex Herring in New York.

Rather than sweep Fulmer's actions under the rug, Eugene Lee Yang, Keith Habersberger, and Zach Kornfeld decided to acknowledge them and take steps forward, opting to sever professional working ties with Fulmer.

The remaining members of The Try Guys are now working to embark on a new chapter in their careers.

The Blast has also shared the news of the team's decision to erase Ned Fulmer from future content and merchandise, which the team has revealed they feel proud to make. The Try Guys have also temporarily stopped production.
